The GL7-160 is a high-speed, high-accuracy cylindrical grinding machine from the JTEKT Toyoda GL7 series, categorized as a Production Highspeed OD Cylindrical Grinding Machine. It is engineered for dedicated processes in a continuous high-production environment requiring long-term machining accuracy.

Built to set the standard for high-volume production of large components, the GL7-160 ensures exceptional stability and precision. It incorporates a hydrostatic wheelhead bearing and way system, and the patented TOYODA STAT BEARING and floating plate. These core technologies work together to provide superior dampening and highly accurate positioning, crucial for continuous 24/7 operation. The machine is versatile, available in both plain-head and angled-head configurations.

The GL7-160 is specifically designed to handle long, heavy workpieces with large diameters. Its key technical specifications are:

• Distance Between Centers: 63 inches (1,600 mm), providing significant length capacity for large parts.
• Swing Over Table: 15.7 inches (400 mm).
• Maximum Grinding Diameter (Standard): 11.8 inches (300 mm), with an optional capacity of 15.7 inches (400 mm).
• Weight Capacity: 660 pounds.
• Wheel Surface Speed: It operates at a high-speed rate of 8,860 SFPM (45 m/s).

The GL7-160 is the ideal machine for manufacturers needing reliable, high-precision cylindrical grinding on long, large-diameter parts in a dedicated, high-throughput manufacturing setting.
